Chapter 577 Daimyo Talks

"They held meetings and exchanged letters."

"With the recent conflict, it seems that a consensus has been reached."

Suzumiya Musashi: "What do you mean by agreement?"

Tsunade: "It hasn't been announced yet, but based on the intelligence, it's probably a plan to reduce the strength and expenses of the ninja village."

Suzumiya Musashi's frown deepened. "Cut the ninja village's expenses?"

It sounds like a good plan to improve people's livelihood.

But he felt that given the personalities of those daimyos, there wouldn't be such a pattern.

"Yes, cut down on ninja village expenses. The daimyo believe that the resources invested in ninja villages in the past have exacerbated conflicts and hatred in the ninja world, which is not conducive to the development of the ninja world."

He looked at Tsunade, "Speak more clearly."

Tsunade said it succinctly: "Reduce the power of the ninja village."

"Reinforce the daimyo's guards."

Suzumiya Musashi narrowed his eyes.

If it simply involves reducing the power and investment of the ninja village, it seems like good news.

Compared to wasting money on military spending, constantly launching wars, and reducing the strength of ninja villages, it is really a good thing for the people of the entire ninja world.

But when put together with the second message, it’s different.

One side is strengthened, the other side is reduced.

This is not for the ninja world.

This is centralization.

In fact, it is understandable.

During the Ninja World War, Suzumiya Musashi single-handedly defeated the guards of the daimyo and the lords.

The daimyo was disbanded on the spot, and he and his family lived in the open air, enduring countless hard days before he finally survived.

As for their guards, most of them suffered heavy casualties in the most difficult combat positions during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Those who survived were quietly absorbed into the major ninja villages during the subsequent rounds.

If it were Suzumiya Musashi, a powerless daimyo, he would also be anxious.

"You still don't know when the news will be announced, right?" asked Suzumiya Musashi.

Tsunade said, "I don't know."

"However, the Daimyo has already begun to take action."

"The guards of the daimyo and feudal lords are increasing, both openly and covertly."

"Iron Sand Guards, Ice Spikes, and Rock Warriors, both in scale and investment, are much larger than before."

"The Twelve Guardian Ninjas have regrouped."

"The Black Light Guard is also preparing."

"Black Light Guard?" Suzumiya Musashi was extremely sensitive to this name: "How could they still be preparing?"

If I remember correctly, the last Black Light was killed by countless White Zetsu in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

The Emperor Viper Clan ended its agreement with the Thunder Kingdom. How could the other party possibly cultivate Black Light again?

Tsunade said: "It just continues the name of the previous Black Light."

"This time, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning seems to have had some unpleasantness with the Raikage, and many expenditures to Kumogakure have been secretly suspended."

"The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has invested a huge amount of wealth and recruited a large number of researchers and orphans from all over the country."

"It was a lot of noise."

"Musashi, if the Fire Country really orders me to cut spending in the ninja village, what do you think I should do?"

Konoha is a huge war machine, and if there is no investment, there will be big problems.

"What should we do? Just leave it alone." Suzumiya Musashi's answer was beyond Tsunade's expectations.

Tsunade: "But the ninjas in the village..."

"It's not like a ninja can only be a ninja."

"Cooking, decorating, and taking care of children."

"What can't be done?"

"If that doesn't work, go farm."

"There's a lot of land in the Ninja Realm. You're not going to starve to death."

For Suzumiya Musashi, cutting the expenses of the ninja village is not really a bad thing.

It may not be a bad thing to transfer the investment used for fighting and killing to production and construction.

The daimyo can take the lead in this matter, and if the subsequent work is not done well, he may do it himself.

Tsunade couldn't understand Suzumiya Musashi's thoughts.

To her, the ninja village is a system established by Hashirama Senju and left in the ninja world.

She couldn't let Konoha decline.

Suzumiya Musashi had different ideas from hers, but she was too lazy to argue. In the end, this matter would cause Shikamaru Nara a headache anyway.

Over the years, she has become more and more adept at the job of Hokage.

If you have a job, don't rush.

It will never go wrong to assign it to capable subordinates.

After sitting with Suzumiya Musashi for a while, Tsunade left.

Because this guy Suzumiya Musashi started to drive people away on the pretext that it was time for training!

Suzumiya Musashi entered the state of training again.

……

A month later.

Tsunade hurried to the door of the gravity room.

She was holding a document in her hand and looked anxious.

"what happened?"

Suzumiya Musashi hadn't seen Tsunade so anxious for a long time.

Tsunade slapped the document in her hand on Suzumiya Musashi's hand and said in a serious tone: "Daimyo meeting!"

"Daimyo talks?"

Suzumiya Musashi had never heard of this before: "What is that?"

Tsunade: "A meeting of higher standards than the Five Kage Summit."

“It hasn’t been held in decades.”

Suzumiya Musashi flipped through the contents of the document, muttering to himself.

"The Daimyo Talks...The Land of Lightning."

"Oh~ You invited us both."

Suzumiya Musashi's mouth curled up, looking very interested.

"Look, Suzumiya Musashi. Tsunade."

"The daimyo really think highly of us."

Tsunade couldn't be happy, she looked at Suzumiya Musashi with worry.

"What are you going to do? Are you really going?"

"I think it's better not to go."

"Go!" Suzumiya Musashi slammed the file shut.

"why are you not going."

"Since the Daimyo has given me this favor, let's go. Ten days from now, right?"

"Then we'll go to the Land of Thunder together."

Tsunade couldn't hide the worry in her eyes. She felt that the Daimyo had called a meeting for no reason and invited Suzumiya Musashi to attend. In name, it was to reward those who had made contributions in the Fourth Shinobi World War, but in reality...

"I worry…"

"Don't worry." A sneer flashed in Suzumiya Musashi's eyes.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

"I want to practice."

"Remember to tell me when you leave."

---

Ten days later.

The land of thunder.

The daimyo's mansion is magnificent and golden.

There was constant singing and dancing, and feasting and joy.

There are endless buildings, all with carved beams and painted rafters of various styles, which are magnificent.

Led by their servants, Suzumiya Musashi and Tsunade continued through buildings and corridors. He kept looking around and clicking his tongue.

"good."

"really not bad."

"The residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is much more luxurious than I imagined."

Even though he had seen skyscrapers in his previous life, Suzumiya Musashi was still very surprised.

Because some things are not majestic just by being tall, they also need to be solid.

What is precipitation? It means that at first glance, it looks very expensive.

The residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning looks just like that, very expensive.

Whether it is the various materials that are difficult to tell from which material is used, or the intricate patterns and shapes, in the eyes of Suzumiya Musashi, every part embodies the hard work and sweat of the craftsmen.

Unless there are hundreds of Yamatos in the Land of Lightning, it would take an unknown amount of manpower and resources in the ninja world to build such a building.
